Desktop network switch

This is a DIGITUS Fast Ethernet network switch for desktop use in small network environments. The switch is equipped with 8 RJ45 network ports and supports data speeds up to 100 Mbit/s. The device operates without configuration and is intended for simple expansion of wired networks. This network switch is used to connect multiple network devices such as computers, printers, and network storage within a local area network. The switch is unmanaged and functions immediately after connection. Thanks to Auto MDI/MDI-X, special cabling is not required. It is suitable for desktop use; wall or rack mounting is not provided. The switch uses store-and-forward technology, where data packets are fully received and checked before being forwarded. Auto-negotiation ensures automatic adjustment of speed and duplex mode per port. IEEE 802.3x flow control is intended to process data traffic in a controlled manner under network load. The fanless design enables silent operation.
